Workplace injuries can occur in any area of the work space. The construction industry is usually the first to come to mind when we talk about work-related injuries, but all industries put all their workers at risk regardless, mostly due to cases of workplace negligence.
If you have suffered an injury as a result of a workplace accident, you may be entitled to compensation for negligence towards employees, social security benefits for people with disabilities or other workers' compensation. However, obtaining the compensation you deserve can be difficult and many workers do not receive the help they need.

Employees are entitled to compensation if they suffer injuries arising from the performance of their duties in the workplace. The infraction must occur while the employee is performing the normal tasks assigned for the benefit of the company.
Most Common Workplace Negligence Accidents
Although there are more common types of cases, there are also other situations, circumstances and injuries that arise at work. Such as:
- Loss of a body part: following a car accident or while working with machinery, employees must be well trained and use equipment correctly, in order to minimize health risks and protect the well-being of themselves and others. Unfortunately, machinery accidents occur for many reasons that sometimes are beyond the worker's control. Machines can break down or have defective parts. Other reasons may be inadequate training, insufficient supervision or worker fatigue during long hours without adequate rest. Machine accidents often cause serious or permanent injuries and even death. One of the most common injuries is the loss of a body part. Unfortunately, victims tragically lose fingers, hands or arms. Other injuries include head injuries, hearing or vision loss, burns or scars and sometimes even death. No matter where you work, virtually all jobs involve some degree of risk. It is the employer's responsibility to protect workers from foreseeable accidents by maintaining the facilities where work will be performed and placing signs indicating potential hazards. Sometimes, accidents occur without adequate training and supervision.
- Carpal tunnel syndrome: repetitive movements such as typing or using machinery can often cause carpal tunnel syndrome. This is a painful condition in which the tendons and ligaments of the wrist become inflamed causing constant pain in the wrists. If you have developed carpal tunnel syndrome, you may experience numbness, burning or tingling in your fingers, wrists or hands. With this syndrome, it is difficult to hold objects or make fists, which can make it impossible to fully perform work activities assigned in front of a computer, cash register or writing.
- Neck, back and head injuries: if you have had an accident that caused you paralysis or injuries to your back or spine, we can help you. You may be entitled to compensation for workplace negligence towards employees.
These are just some of the multiple causes of workplace negligence that exist throughout the work environment in the United States, so if you consider it necessary or have identified with any of the examples we mentioned, you should contact Conexión Legal as soon as possible, so that you can receive the best free legal advice, and in your case, we can help you obtain the highest compensation for workplace negligence possible for your accident.
